Uso o Ligthroom à vários anos sempre a versão desctop. Hoje tenho LrC no meu iMac. Quero passar a usar o Ligthroom tb no meu iPad em especial quando fora de casa. Tenho várias dúvidas. Se alguem puder ajudar agradeço:

- Em termos de funcionalidades e menus o Lr é semelhante e igualmente potente qd comprado como LrC?

- A conversao do LrC para o Lr ( catálogos e ficheiros) é automatica?

- No caso do Lr onde estão os catálogos? Onde podem estar os ficheiros? é possivel passar as fotos do iPad para o arquivo geral no iMac e sincronizar o catálogo do iPad como o "master" no iMac?

São muitas perguntas e acredito que a resposta possa não ser fácil. Existe algum sitio e/ou canal onde eu possa esclarecer estas questões. Muito Obrigado

There are lots of Youtube Videos you can watch to answer many questions. 

 

The editing abilities of LRC and LR are identical. 

 

If you want to continue to use LRC, I recommend you place your images into collections and share them with LR. Smart previews are uploaded to LR so you can edit them on your ipad. When you sync them, the edits are then applied to the images on your hard drive in LRC. On the left side of your collection there is a little box, if you click it - it will change to a little symbol that means those photos are now shared with LR. 

 

LR doesn't have a catalogs. The images live in the cloud.  They could be the actual image or just a smart preview, depends on how you got the images into LR. I use my phone for most of my images and share some catalogs from LRC. LR on the computer also now allows you to view images locally, so you can view the images stored on your computer / external drive. 

 

I'm sure my answers brought up more questions. Just give it a try - watch some youtube videos. Sharing a catalog with LR from LRC won't hurt anything.

    Many thanks for your contribution, it helps and yes I will try again to find some more videos. So fair I didn’t find anything that covers my specific needs. What I would like to be able to do is the following. Keep my system as it is. LrC catalogs on my iMac with files on a major external drive. With a backup process in place.
    In addition I would like to do the following when traveling: Save everyday trip photos on a sandisk drive, use LR on my iPad and start editing. When at home I am wondering if I can move the photos from the sandisk to the major external drive and than go to LrC and sync the catalogs. It would be great if I can do this way or very similar.
    One again thanks for your contribution
    Regards

    You can edit the images from your external on your iPad, the issue is that those images are uploaded to the cloud and the edits are not saved to the images on the HD but to the images in the cloud. This is a feature I and many others would like to see - to be able to edit the images on the HD itself on the iPad. I've added it to an existing feature request. I had a student I helped with this same exact workflow last week. 

     

    I recommend you upload your images to LR. I use my phone and LR on my phone set to automatically import all images from my camera roll. Get the images uploaded to the cloud, do your edits on the iPad and then you simply sync to LR Classic. When you sync, the originals are downloaded to your preferred location. Some will stay in the cloud, some will be just the smart previews - it's based on how much space you have in the cloud - smart previews don't count against you.  But, you will see all originals downloaded. You set up where they download in the LRC preferences. I have mine sorted by decades so I only need to update the location every 10 years. 

     

    Hopefully that makes sense, if you have more questions, ask.
